I think Firebrand1 is right and this is a lull before the storm. I certainly hope Night-Gaunt49 is wrong in his guess that the strip might be coming to an end. I’d hate to see a message on the 31st saying, “And this is where we leave our Alley Oop. For now …”

Lets see….Lola is still on the wrong planet, O.L. Driller is still in jail, Zud is missing his wife, Wonmug is still in trouble with the FBI, Oscar’s integrity is still at stake….Yep, my work here is done.

Belo-Rada? Sounds vaguely Slavic. If so, it could mean divine (literally white ) happiness? The “o” in the word Belo is confusing as I think it should be an “a” to agree in gender with the word “Rada” which ends in an “a”. So we would get Bela-Rada!

My comment from yesterday:“Reading Alley Oop, onecan understand why Schulz wouldn’t let anybody touch his strip after he died. Hamlin was probably okay with Graue taking over but he had no say in the decision – he didn’t own the strip. I still can’t fathom how either of the Benders were selected to take over for Graue. Jack was only a few years younger than Graue and is now over 80. Carole clearly cannot write. Several posters have said that at least they have kept Oop alive and that nobody would take over the strip if they left. That last statement is debatable but the first is flat out wrong. The real Alley Oop died a long time ago, killed by an uncaring syndicate at the hands of the Benders.”
